Back when the Xbox 360 first came out. I picked up a Dynasty Warriors game. It was my first real experience with the series, as I generally avoided it due to poor reviews. To my surprise, I ended up falling in love. I played it for hours, conquering each part of the map with my insane general who would rack up 1000s of kills along the way (or, as Dynasty Warriors calls then, “KOs”).

It got me thinking. Why does this game get universally bad reviews, and yet, here I am, enjoying it? Is my taste “poor,” or do different people simply enjoy different things?

Reviewers are fine. They serve a purpose. Sometimes, as a reader, you can line up your thoughts and opinions with a certain reviewer. But reviewers are also people. And people are flawed. People are biased. People like certain things. People need to “look the part” when others are watching. Even if a reviewer enjoyed Dynasty Warriors – even if they played it for 50 hours because they got lost in the world – giving it a high score might hurt their credibility. After all, no one else saw fit to rate it in a positive light.

That is where the idea was born for a site that could feature reviews based on each person’s individual preferences. We take the human factor out of the review. Because some reviewers do have a bias towards a console, or a game series, or against a certain game. Our site hopes to remove that bias and let you find games based on what you have enjoyed in the past.

Another thing to take into consideration is that not all reviewers are the right person to review a game. Just because you love role playing games doesn’t mean you’re going to like one that’s in a niche genre. I personally love most games, but there is a very popular game that I have never been able to get into no matter how many times I’ve tried (Monster Hunter). I really do want to like the game because so many people love it, but it just doesn’t click with me. If I were assign a score based on my opinion of the game, it would be low, simply because I don’t get it.

The sad part is, there are legitimate websites out there that do this to reviews. They assign the wrong person to review a game. And because of that, the reviewer never gets it. I don’t want someone who “loves Grand Theft Auto” to come in a judge Yakuza based on their experiences with GTA. It wouldn’t be fair. But it happens all the time.

A nice side effect of our system is when you see your top games, there might be some games you’ve never heard of. Our site will help you to discover games that you might be missing out on. Not every gamer knows about every game. Especially when you look at games on mobile devices. It feels like 100s of games at a time come out on those, and it’s hard to find the good from the bad aside from word of mouth. Now, you have a place to turn to begin your steps with possibly a new game to fall in love with.

Now you know how and why the site came about. I hope that you enjoy your time here. I will always try to spice things up and keep them interesting around here, so come back often and see what’s new. Check out the 3 Questions each time a game you are interested in comes out. Suggest games you want us to add to the site. We will do our best to make this your favorite gaming site around.
